When I say transitioning, I mean the weather. In my life, at this current moment, no news is good news! Spring is one of the hardest seasons to dress for in NYC I think. It’s frequently wet, pretty chilly, and can be gloomy at times. A few nice days are sprinkled in there, but whipping out cute dresses is better suited for May/June than March/April here.
I tend to rely on uniforming my wardrobe for these months. This look from last week is one of my go-tos. And I’m sharing another favorite today. To say that I’ve worn this exact outfit too many times to remember in just the past month. I’m obsessed.
It’s simple, just like I like my outfits. It’s comfortable, just like I insist my outfits be. And it’s just chic enough, just like I pray my outfits might be.
This is just my favorite things from head to toe. It may as well be an ode to a few of my favorite things in fact, step aside Maria Von Trapp.
Skinny jeans, a striped tee, and a slouchy (adorable) coat. This is how I would like to dress every single day of my life, please.
I have to tell you, I’m truly in love with BaubleBar’s tassel pieces right now. I’ve honestly been stockpiling different necklaces and have amassed quite the collection. One of my favorites, which happens to be on sale, is the Puck Tassel Strand necklace. I think it’s extra fun on top of the stripes.
As always, my monogrammed crossbody makes an appearance. If I’m wearing anything navy, this is my bag of choice.
To be honest, when the weather gets slightly unpredictable, it's better to stick with the trusty uniform! You know it's comfortable and will get you through whatever the weather is like now or twenty minutes from now! xx, Mikkaela The Southwestern Prepster
I've been so in love with that coat ever since you featured it on Instagram! And real question… are you about to get hit by a car in some of these pictures? Because we would miss you! (But really, how does that work?)
Coats are my vice! I'm gonna spend these last few weeks wearing them as often as I can before the weather starts warming up 😛 And when it finally does, I'll be ready to start wearing dresses! Can't wait to have my legs out again haha. -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's

This outfit really is the cutest thing. I would die to own that coat! Then again, I probably wouldn't get too much use out of it here in Atlanta. Also, that tassel necklace really is the perfect piece to complement the rest of the outfit.
This look is so cute. I did something similar with a Breton striped top! However, it's a little warmer down by me, so I can wear short sleeves already!
Love your outfit! Northern springs can be ridiculously hard to dress for! For me, I just keep wearing the same things I wore during the winter, but remove a a layer, like wearing a blazer instead of a full coat.

✨ leave a comment with “SKIN” and I’ll send you all the products mentioned here ✨
I turned 35 in September and while I’ve always tried to take good care of my skin I wanted to really prioritize skincare from the inside out. At this point, I’m not doing any kind of injectables (not that I’m against them broadly speaking btw... just sharing that I haven’t done anything) and I don’t want to do anything invasive. I have made some small adjustments to my everyday life though that has made a difference. In just a few months, I really think my skin has never looked better (and I include infancy here because I unfortunately had baby acne ) and I’m really feeling good:
– Fresh washcloths after cleansing skin (@weezietowels “makeup” washcloths are cute, super soft, and very practical) – @omniluxled Omnilux Contour Face (this red light therapy mask has CHANGED the game for my skin. I use it 3-4x a week and it only takes 10 minutes per session!) – @jolieskinco filtered showerhead (I’ve noticed a difference in both my skin AND hair) – @ritual HyaCera (one capsule every night– it works from the inside out to help reduce the appearance of fine lines)
While I think my skin looks great on its own right now (🙌🏻 love to say that!), it also is serving as the best base for makeup. Sharing my current everyday routine: – @supergoop Mineral Unseen Sunscreen – @summerfridays Sheer Skin Tint (shade 1) – @merit Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer (shade clay) – @saiebeauty Dew Blush Liquid Cream (shade chilly) – @jonesroadbeauty Shimmer Face Oil (shade cool rose) – @sephora collection Eyebrow Gel (shade ebony) – @honest Extreme Length Mascara – @urbandecaycosmetics 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner (shade demolition) – @iliabeauty Balmy Lip Tint (shade lullaby)
girlhood 🫶🏻 find friends who want to do the same little hobbies as you! Went over to @shihstitches’ house yesterday to give her some sourdough starter and go through the basics (I’m *very much* a beginner so I told her to take my lesson with a grain of salt)
PS convinced her to make an IG account! @blueskyehouse
PPS she’s convincing me I really do need a fancy range like her ✨ stunning ✨ @lacanche.usa
Just a girl searching for the perfect digital planner solution. What I have right now is working, technically speaking, but I’m working across platforms and ideally I’d love everything to be in one place. I also have calendar synesthesia (IYKYK) and I physically feel myself in space moving through my calendar, which makes finding a planner difficult because I want/need it to match up with what I see in my head I know this sounds insane but if you also “see” time, you know what I mean!
Right now I’m using: – Google Sheets to track campaigns/business line items – Google docs for writing/brainstorming – Google/Apple Calendars (somehow they’re integrated and I don’t ask questions because it just works...) – Apple Notes for daily to-dos, random note keeping, and quick jot downs – Apple Reminders for “must dos” esp w/ deadlines – Dropbox for photo/file storage
I’m craving a good ole fashioned paper planner but the reality is that I need it to be digital. I need it to integrate with my calendar and remind me of tasks. I need to be able to access it on my computer when I’m working at my desk and on my phone when I’m on the go. I need structure and flexibility?
Does the perfect digital planner exist?! Do I need to overcome my overwhelm and tackle @notionhq? Is an @apple iPad the solution? Do I just keep doing what I’m doing because it’s technically working?
If you’ve stuck around to the end, I appreciate you 🫡
I created a beautiful, custom silk photo album from @printique_by_adorama to remember my sweet dog Hamilton, who passed away earlier this year. Their layflat album captured the colors and details perfectly, making each photo feel so special. It’s a keepsake I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful for the quality and love they put into every page. #printiquepartner
… and yet you must. This week has been the hardest yet. Pressure from work, pressure from myself, pressure from the world. The magnitude of reality feels too much and too heavy. Showing up for my children though when I can barely show up for myself.
This coat is beyond adorable!
